HCG Diet: Is There Unforeseen Harm?

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: chickie maxwell

Despite the popularity of the HCG diet, some people are still worried about its side effects. While not commonly discussed by those who sell weight loss products containing HCG hormones, probably due to the fact that most risks remain untested, following the aforesaid diet may still cause harm in some instances. In order to gain the most benefit from the highly acclaimed diet, one should become aware of its most common downsides. Likewise, those yet to try the diet should learn more about its potential dangers. Indeed, proper knowledge is essential in any health-oriented endeavor.

One of the most obvious side effects of the HCG diet, or more specifically having elevated HCG hormone levels is that it augments the body's capability to store water and sodium. While some may assume that this is not a harmful effect as it is only temporary, one should keep in mind that prolonged and excessive use of HCG hormones may actually result to permanent cardiovascular conditions. To expound, if the body fails to maintain sodium concentrations at a suitable level, an excessive amount of water remains unreleased. In effect, one's blood pressure rises, thus causing damage to the cardiovascular system.

Aside from blood pressure problems, those currently enjoying the HCG diet must also keep in mind that eating less also means that one acquires fewer nutrients. While the diet focuses on maintaining a low calorie intake to effectively make use of body fat, such an approach also significantly limits one's chances of eating balanced meals throughout the day. Cramps for example, can become bothersome due to insufficient potassium intake. Likewise, not being able to acquire sufficient amounts of magnesium might cause headaches. While these repercussions are less alarming than actual diseases, one should still find appropriate ways to circumvent such issues.

Of course, a truly alarming and highly likely side effect of following the HCG diet exists. Due to the 500-calorie limit of diet protocols that involve HCG hormone use, the pace at which the body uses protein and fat as sources of energy is significantly hastened. In effect, the continuous breakdown of fats and proteins triggers an increase of ketone levels. Hence, those currently following the aforementioned diet plan, might suffer from a condition known as ketosis. Ketosis is best described as a condition wherein an excessive concentration of ketone remains in the bloodstream, potentially causing kidney and cholesterol problems.

People who are currently following the HCG diet should keep in mind that upon noticing the first sign of any of these problems, immediately seeking help from a physician is a must. Alternatively, individuals yet to try the diet firsthand must completely make sure that they do not have any underlying heart, kidney, or liver diseases that might be further aggravated by a ketogenic diet as well as increased HCG hormone levels. While the goal to achieve a better figure is indeed important, one should never forget that suffering from serious health issues is never a worthy price to pay for a slender body.
